HISTOR Y OF

THE PARSIS. [chap. vi.

II.

0 Lord our God ! arise !
0 Is Jagdis ! Tun uth !

Scatter her enemies,
Veri Vikherva ruth,

And make them fall.
An tenxno kal.

Bid strife and discord cease ;
Bandh pad dves kles badho;

Wisdom and arts increase ;
Dnyan ne hunnar vadho ;

Filling our homes with peace,
Am Gher jamp samp sadho,

Blessing us all.
Kalyan Servkal.

III.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
Ganjthi Dan Shrest Tun kar,

Still on Victoria pour—
Jathu Victoria par—

Health, might, and fame.
Bal, kirti, kshem.

While peasant, prince, and peer,
Rank rae sadbhimane,

Proudly her sway revere,—
Emnu Raj puj jane,

Nations afar and near
Jyan tyanna Lok ane,

Honour her name.
Nam pratye prem.

Guard her beneath Thy wings,
Tunj pankman Emne dhar,

Almighty King of kings,
Saktiman Rajeshwar,

Sov'reign unseen.
Nath Mah-Dnyani.

Long may our pray'r be blest,
Thae prarthna bahu subhkar,

Rising from east to west,
Purvethi Paschim par,

As from one loyal breast,
Rajbhakt ek dil svikar,

God save the Queen,
Raksh Dev Rani.

Special Second Verse.

0 Lord our God! arise !
0 Is Jagdis ! Tun uth !

Scatter her enemies,
Veri Vikherva ruth,

And make them fall.
An temno kal.

Bless thou the brave that fight,
Ashis survirne de,

Sworn to defend her right,
Pan hak kaj ladva le,

Bending before Thy might,
Namtan Tunj Vir pratye,

RULER of all.
Bhudher Bhupal.
